1. The new life that is hidden in Christ through burial and resurrection is a new life that starts at your baptism, God’s work on your behalf that has ongoing effects.
  2. This is what baptism indicates. It is an identity with the victor. It is comforting that the enemies have no hold on me, on us.
  3. No longer on the outs, God has taken you through Christ’s death and transferred you to His Kingdom, made you a part of his body. Family dinner just would not be complete if you were not there too.
  4. Paul and company’s constant prayer for their readers/hearers is that they be filled with knowledge of God’s will in all wisdom and spiritual insight, “To walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him".
  5. Christ’s cross , Christ’s marks, Christ’s grace, and Christ’s Law of love are on display in this concluding section of Paul’s letter.
